谈文学史的写作特性——以《中国当代新诗史》大陆诗歌部分的修订为例

On Writing Features of Literature History——take the revision of the mainland poetry of History of Chinese Contemporary Poetry for example

自20世纪80年代以来,“重写文学史”成为学界关注的热点之一,并由此产生了一批史论著作及其修订版。重“写”文学史,最终要落实到文本纂写环节上来,即体现为一种文本活动。因而写作的特性在直接决定了文学史的不真实性的同时,也赋予了其修改的可能。本文通过《中国当代新诗史》前后版本的比较,从变动当中着重探讨文学史写作问题中所包含的时间(当代)与历史、文学与历史之间的矛盾,并由此深入到文学史观的高度来回望当下的文学史写作,以兹为文学史尤其是诗歌史的写作提出一些可供思考的问题。

Dating back to 1980s,“rewriting literary history” has become one of the hot issues, and it attracts much attention from the academe field, which in return brings about dozens of works about history and revisions. Rewriting literary history is undoubtedly embodied by words, and in that sense, it can be regarded as a text activity. Writing leads to the unfaithfulness as well as a possibility of revising. By comparing two versions of History of Chinese Contemporary New Poetry, this thesis aims to probe into some questions that appear in the literary history writing, such as time versus history, and contradictions between literary and history. In such a way, the writer intends to pursue an insight into the present literary history writing, thus providing several questions for discussion to the literary history, especially for poetry history writing.
